Injury 2024 Crows Injury Update

[Sizzlepack]

Hadn't seen the clips... but happy to hear that he's likely to stay.

The slight caveat is that the interview is quite cut-up, it's not clear what question he's responding to when he mentions loving the club and city. But I'm certainly more optimistic than I was this time yesterday.

 

[1970crow]

Can't believe the amount of people who are fine to see Keane go. At some point we've gotta start holding onto good KPDs long term and he's still got a lot of improvement left in him. He offers a point of difference with ball in hand as well.

If he wants out, what can we do? We can definitely hold him for an extra year and go again at the trade table, but our position is weakened. If he's going to be the difference between a flag or not in 2025, then sure, keep him at all costs. But that's not the case. Plus, it's arguable whether he's in our first choice 3 tall defenders. Probably is for me with the way he takes the game on, just not sure the coaches are happy to swap that with Butts' defending value. Murray and Worrell are the 2 walk ups in my mind and then it's a choice between dour defending and extra intercepting/forward movement.

 

[1970crow]

disagree. A best 22 AFL player over a SANFL player should have better trade value every day.

No, his value has been set by what he has shown playing in the AFL this year. It could be increased if he goes up a level, but I doubt that's happening. It could potentially decrease if he's gassed and has a terrible finish, but even then, him gassing it up wouldn't be unexpected. It could definitely decrease if he rips a hammy off the bone.

No ACL for Murray but a lisfranc for Butts

So that’s Butts done for the year then?

You'd think so

 

[Eddie Murphy]

So that’s Butts done for the year then?

That’s probably Keane locked in for next year too. Butts may take a while to recover his good form from this year.

Didn't Butts do the same thing at around this time last year?

Yeah, no point playing him & making it worse.

Get him right for next season.

Relieved Muzz is OK. Club did the right thing subbing him.

Keane is already signed for next season.

 

[50BC]

So that’s Butts done for the year then?

Lisfranc I'd expect 6 weeks+ in a cast or moon boot, then the rehab can start. With a bit of luck, he won't miss too much of preseason training.

 

[glengowan]

A relief Murray is ok. Bad luck for Butts. This scare, on the back of what happened last season, puts any temptation to trade Keane at the end of this season on the back burner I would think.

The combination of Murray, Keane and Worrell would be good to see as the season comes to an end. Just hope we have them all to pick from come Round 1 next year.

We'll need them all (and possibly more) to stop the rampaging "King Charles" in a couple of weeks.

 

[1970crow]

And maybe more, doesn’t seem many return to their best for a while.

 

[ABAB]

And maybe more, doesn’t seem many return to their best for a while.

Depend on the severity I guess, Taylor did the same much earlier than Jones.

Unlikely with Butts out for the rest of the year.

Absolute stupidity by the AFC.

 

[1970crow]

Of course we're rushing Crouch back

We probably should be calling time on Soligo's season if he is carrying a groin. But yeh, rushing Crouch back for 4 dead rubbers when we've got kids going ok and worthy of more midfield minutes is peak AFC. If Sog gets put out for the year, it does look a bit thin this week with only Laird and Berry as primary mids. Still, would be good to see whether Berry could accumulate more heavily when played as one of the 2 primaries. I know he's in good form in his role, but also wouldn't mind seeing Hinge run through the stoppages as well.

 

[footy4ever]

Absolute stupidity by the AFC.

Well it might be if it actually happens, but who knows, he might be right to go.

 

[Pugsley]

Well it might be if it actually happens, but who knows, he might be right to go.

And he might stuff it up good and proper.
